What force keeps us on the ground?
Gravity
What language do computers understand at the lowest level?

Which bodily system fights infections and heals injuries?
The immune system.
What do you call a smart guess in science that can be tested?
Hypothesis
Who was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize?
Marie Curie
What does pH measure?
Acidity
What is a web browser used for?
To access and view websites on the internet.
What biological molecule stores genetic information in most organisms?
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
What device converts electrical energy into sound?
Speaker
What 20th-century chemist’s work helped discover the structure of DNA but was under-credited for years?
Rosalind Franklin
What simple machine helps lift heavy loads with less force by changing direction of force?
A pulley
What does “CPU” stand for?
Central Processing Unit
Who discovered the first antibiotic?
Alexander Fleming
What is the main purpose of data analysis?
To find patterns or draw conclusions
What is the name of the woman who wrote the first computer algorithm?
Ada Lovelace
What does the term “entropy” refer to in thermodynamics?
A measure of disorder, randomness, or the number of microscopic configurations consistent with a system’s macroscopic state.
What does “version control” (e.g., Git) help developers do?
Track and manage changes to code over time, enabling collaboration and historical rollback.
Version control records edits, supports branching/merging, and makes teamwork on code manageable.

π (Pi)
What does the concept of “intersectional feminism” mean?
Recognition that gender inequality overlaps with race, class, and other forms of discrimination
In quantum mechanics, what does “superposition” mean?
A system exists in a combination of multiple possible states simultaneously until measured, when it collapses to one outcome.
Superposition underlies quantum interference and is exploited in quantum computing for parallelism.
In simple terms, what is “cloud computing”?
Delivering computing services—servers, storage, databases, networking, software—over the internet on demand.
What is a vaccine designed to do?
Train the immune system to recognize and respond to a pathogen without causing the disease.
What is the difference between accuracy and precision?
Accuracy is how close measurements are to the true value; precision is how repeatable measurements are (how close they are to each other).
You can be precise but not accurate (consistent but biased) or accurate but not precise (on average correct but scattered).
